The good thing about being sick is that it gives you time to sit on the couch, fire up the DVR and watch the recording of the Detroit Lions game.

I'll spare you the herbal tea and cough medicine details.

The 48-24 loss to the Chicago Bears was pretty awful, but there were certainly some bright spots. Now that I'm in the infirmary, I'll take a look at the whole game with a finger on the "review" button, and get back to you later this afternoon.

In the meantime, here's Brian Billick chatting with Lions head coach Jim Schwartz on FOX Sports' Coach Speak. Though Schwartz didn't say Matthew Stafford is starting Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Billick asks him a question that implies the rookie quarterback will be.

And Schwartz answers right back without a mention of Stafford's knee, which he injured in the fourth quarter of the Bears loss.

It may be a slip-up or it might mean Schwartz was taking the question at face value. You can decide for yourself.

Brian Billick: Now you're playing the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. Do you tihnk there's anything you can lend to your young quarterback, to give him – as a defensive-minded coach, or one that came from that side of the ball – is there anything you can share with a young Matthew Stafford about how to handle these different pressures that might add to his perspective?

Jim Schwartz: Yeah, there's a little bit of things. I've seen that defense an awful long time. You know, sorta, where the weak spots are on that defense.

But, y'know, he has to gain that experience himself. The only way he's going to get comfortable playing a pressure team like that is to go out and to actually experience it himself. There's no substitute for experience in this league.

Check out the interview below. It starts at the 7:15 mark.
